Stanford Medicine researchers have developed a way to induce dreams during anesthesia, offering new clues about how psychedelic therapies may help alleviate trauma and PTSD symptoms. stan.md/4yy5W7g

Could anesthesia dreams be a more palatable psychedelic therapy?

Stanford Medicine researchers can now induce dreams during anesthesia. They think it could help crack the mystery of how psychedelics work to alleviate trauma.

Nobel laureate @KarlDeisseroth came to neuroscience through words. His love of literature and writing drew him toward the human brain, and a required psychiatry rotation in medical school set him on the path to developing optogenetics. Here, he traces that journey.

“Our study establishes that the hundreds of bacterial species that are rare or missing in industrialized microbiomes were ancient companions of ours as we migrated around the globe, likely passed from generation to generation for millennia,” said Justin Sonnenburg, PhD, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford Medicine. med.stanford.edu/news/all-ne…

Gut microbes across continents trace ancient human migration

A study of the microbiome of groups in Africa and South America indicates that diverse gut microbes joined us as we migrated out of Africa — a diversity that is lost among industrialized peoples.

On Tuesday, the entire Stanford Bioengineering community gathered at the Shriram Center to celebrate Karl Deisseroth, winner of the 2026 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, before he headed off to teach his undergraduate class: "Principles and Practice of Optogenetics for Optical Control of Biological Tissues." “We love you. We love your work,” said fellow faculty member Russ Altman, who’s known the laureate since 1992. “Wisdom, devotion to your work, seriousness of purpose, sense of humor, and then your status as a father, husband, physician. What a model.”
